Is the essence of Zhu's cooking the use of fire?

Yes.

Just use fire?

No.

What is more sublime than using fire is the correct understanding and acceptance of dishes.

Don't memorize the steps of each dish, but understand its uniqueness, make the dish that suits you best, and dedicate it to every diner.

Only if you really like it, appreciate it, and bring it to the diners, is the best feast.

So, is it important to be able to hold a kitchen knife?

Is it important to use fire or not?

20 years ago, Zhu Silin was extremely popular and lost.

Twenty years later, Zhu Silin forgot about the fire and won the respect of everyone, including his opponents.

Zhu Silin died suddenly amidst laughter, and Nianfu was in the kitchen making shredded sweet potatoes.

For Master, there is no commemoration that is more meaningful than learning to control the temperature of the fire again.

So chanting blessings will not waste time crying, kowtow, and burning paper.What are you afraid of without the blessing of Vulcan? Don't the cooks in this world stop cooking?

Why can't she do it when others can?

But still, it failed.

It's okay, I can come again.Nian Futi breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to go to the pot again, but was held down by a hand.

Ouyang Kang looked at his wife's haggard and thin face lovingly, "Okay, that's it for today. If your master sees you working so hard, he will feel sorry for you."

The little potato boy in his arms didn't know what happened, but he just showed a silly smile at his depressed mother, as if he wanted to make her happy.

Nianfu was silent, and finally took off the apron.

After going to kowtow to the master, burn a stick of incense, and go back to the room after chanting blessings, Ouyang Kang has already put Xiaoshuzai to sleep and looked at her quietly.

Looking at his son's peaceful sleeping face for a long time, Nian Fu opened his mouth awkwardly.

"Master... I regret..."

Ouyang Kang didn't say anything.He took her into his arms and patted her on the back lightly.Let his wife hold back the tears that fell on his shoulders for a long time.

Zhu Silin is not a pleasing personality, and even a little lonely.

He is not as knowledgeable and funny as Su Cheng.He is not as kind and easy-going as Du Chuan, and he is not even as kind and open-minded as old doctor Gao.

To be honest, no one wants to be close to him.Even, including chanting blessings.

Apart from cooking, in retrospect, it seems that I seldom stay with him, chatting about the world and the earth.

Later, he chose to stay in Prince Ping's Mansion where Nianfu didn't want to set foot, and he had even fewer contacts.

But is Zhu Silin really a cold person?

Little Potato went there to play.Every time he will prepare food for the children by himself.

When Nianfu fell ill, he would cook soup for this apprentice.

Now, he uses his life to teach Nianfu the true meaning of cooking.

Also, help her get rid of the disaster.

No one said, but chanting blessings can't fool yourself.

The master wants to teach her.There are many ways, why did he choose the most decisive way?

Because of those rumors.

He was helping her tell everyone, especially the one on the dragon chair.They Zhu Shi is of the same family, but they are also ordinary people.There is also birth, old age, sickness and death, so there is really no need to worry.

And once he died, what reason would there be to implicate her and Chai Rong?

There are some people in this world who are born to laugh.It will make you feel considerate and warm from the bottom of your heart.But there are also some people who are born like that rough granite, who will only use the most stupid way to protect you and treat you well.

I regretted reciting blessings, and regretted not treating Master better.

She should be more considerate of him.Care about him more, take Xiaoshuzai to see him more, and accompany him, even if he dislikes him, just sit there for a cup of tea.All should go.

But from now on, she will never have such an opportunity again.

The son wants to support but the relative is not there.

Such grief is enough to break a heart.

"In the future, let our child be the cook." Ouyang Kang gently placed his hand on her lower abdomen, "Be the most powerful cook in the world and let everyone know that he is a disciple of the Zhu family."

"No." Nianfu wiped away his tears and said firmly, "I am the best disciple of Mr. Zhu, and he can only be the best disciple. We will all be the best cooks in the world, let everyone know."

Ouyang Kang kissed his wife's wet eyes, and said solemnly, "You will definitely do it, I believe."

Royal Palace.

The eunuch replied in a low voice, "Today, someone from the previous court discussed the matter of the crown prince, and it was the king of Chu who was mentioned."

Queen Wang frowned, "How could you mention him?"

"According to reports, the king of Chu has already had a son, who is already one year old."

That sick boy actually has a son?Queen Wang didn't speak, but her expression turned a little ugly.The eldest son has the eldest grandson, logically speaking, this is the most suitable heir.

But how can this make the queen reconciled?The emperor's direct sons are only the three kings of Chu, Qi and Jin, plus her fourteenth son, the newly named Prince Rui.

King Jin is dead, and King Chu is weak and childless for many years. She always thought that King Qi was the biggest competitor, but now that King Chu has a son, there is a new change.

"Quickly go and tell Lord Wang to enter the palace."

yes.The eunuch agreed, and within half a day, Wang Can appeared in front of the queen.

"How do you deal with this matter?"

Wang Can smiled bitterly, "Is the Empress too impatient? It's just a one-year-old child..."

"The children are only one year old, and they only report to the palace. Do you think they have no plans?" Queen Wang's voice was a bit harsh, "This palace transferred you to Beijing to be the envoy, do you know Fei? How much scheming did you do? Now that Zhuo Rilie is leaving, is he just watching like this? You should understand the emperor's thoughts better than me, why can't you find a way to make a contribution?"

Wang Can knelt down, "The minister is incompetent, and I have failed my mother's trust."

Queen Wang took a breath, and tried to suppress her temper, "I'm not blaming you right now, get up. In fact, when it comes to understanding the grassland tribes, Jiashan County Horse should be one of them. Why don't you talk to him? Besides, you guys are so good, he should be able to give you some advice."

Just want to be good, so I can't open my mouth.

You have to get someone to help you after taking credit for it?This is too bullying.

Queen Wang didn't realize it, she picked out two children's toys and asked him to take them with her, "Just say that I gave it to you."

This is afraid of getting into trouble, and still wants to win people over, isn't it too low-level?

Wang Can had no choice but to collect the things.I took some time back and came to Poyuan to visit.

Ouyang Kang generously collected the things, and picked out a few good things for him, "It's not convenient to invite my sister-in-law and Bao'er to come for a walk now. Take these things for us, saying that the princess has always missed them."

Wang Can felt even more ashamed, "You know very well that I didn't bring them here because of this. You should also know that I can't help myself in many things now."

Ouyang Kang said solemnly, "I still remember when I first arrived in the capital, I didn't know anything about the world. It's all thanks to my brother and sister-in-law. Seriously, if you didn't help me at the beginning, I would have given up a long time ago. You know Regarding my family affairs, you and my sister-in-law have always been respected by me and the princess as elder brothers and sisters-in-law. If there are some polite words, don't talk about them between us, it will hurt our feelings."

Wang Can stomped his foot. "Bring the wine! Let the siblings cook some side dishes, and let's have a good drink."

Only then did Ouyang Kang laugh, and ordered the family to prepare the food and drink they liked, and find a quiet place in the garden alone, so that they could chat for a while.

By the time Wang Can left, it was already dark.

When Ouyang Kang came back smelling of alcohol, Nian Fu was coaxing his son to sleep.When I saw my father came back.Fat Potato regained his energy, turned over and got up, ready to play with others.

With the help of Jiu Jin, he let his son ride Feifei on his neck, and went out to play Feifei for a while, Xiaoshuzi exhausted his last bit of energy.Giggling and giggling once, he buried his big head with a sky braid on the soft quilt, and fell asleep with his buttocks pouted.

It was quite amusing to put his son to sleep on his back, and then he asked, "Are you feeling happy?"

Ouyang Kang let out a long sigh. "Brother Wang is really aggrieved. The Empress is all about supporting Prince Rui to the throne, but how can such an important matter be so contentious? But no one listens to his persuasion, and she insists on pushing him forward. Doing something out of place. Now he wants to get away, and he doesn't know how."

Nianfu was silent, "I'm afraid that the Queen will still want to tie us to a thief ship?"

Ouyang Kang sarcastically said, "She doesn't have the guts yet. With your reputation blocking her, if she wants to give something, she has to change hands. It can be seen that the emperor's intentions are not very clear to her."

Nianfu suddenly asked, "Then who do you think it will be?"

Ouyang Kang chuckled, "No matter who you choose, it will not be a milk baby. It has not been a peaceful world for many years now, and the lessons of the previous dynasty are still there. The emperor should not be so confused."

Nianfu didn't know the lesson he said, but Nianfu remembered the history of King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard for his grandson to succeed to the throne. He killed so many veterans and survived until his grandson grew up.But as soon as he died, King Yan turned his back, and the emperor's chair was kicked out before it was warmed up.

Queen Wang was originally a smart person, but it's a pity that she still couldn't see it.Maybe when she is in her position, it will be difficult to look away, right?

Nianfu didn't care who Gao Xian chose as his successor, she only told Ouyang Kang, "Our family should stop hugging our thighs and live an honest life, which is better than anything else."

Although the merit of Conglong is great, the risk is also great.The two parents-in-law are naturally timid, and their current life is enough. They are not interested in cooking oil with fire and blooming flowers.

Ouyang Kang also said, "I'd rather the emperor allow us to retire and return to our hometowns. The family can build a yard, build a farm, and live a quiet life. What's better than that?"

Nianfu glanced at him, "Then you just wait to grow old in this broken garden."

Ouyang Kang curled his lips, "That's not bad, anyway, you're with me. I'm an old man, and you should be an old woman too."

Nianfu suddenly felt amused, "Shouldn't Shuzai get married by then? What if he wants to marry a wife and come back without driving the disk with me? Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight all day long, he should be very aggrieved, right?"

Ouyang Kang looked at her gloating face and was speechless, "You seem to be looking forward to it?"

"Of course." Nianfu looked forward to it viciously, "I want to be a wicked mother-in-law, pulling my daughter-in-law's pigtails all day long."

Ouyang Kang looked at his son sympathetically and went to sleep.

A few days later, a letter was delivered to Poyuan.

***

Wangcai: I finally know where the tradition of pulling pigtails comes from. . .

Potato: Brother Cai, come on, I’ll make up some for you too.Oh, don't run so fast!
